Tried "Killabrew" and it wouldn't accept it.

83/100. Awesome quiz

Level 75

Feb 4, 2015

When did Smoltz pitch for the red Sox or Cardinals?

Level 70

Jul 29, 2016

This stuff really upsets me. ... How is Dave Winfield not on this list, yet Jeff Bagwell, Robin Yount and Tim Raines are? This is why ESPN has no business making any sort of sports list.

Level 82

Tried Winfield a few times. Thought I was spelling it wrong. Tried Freddie Lynn as well. As far as ESPN lists go, this is one of their better ones I'd say. They tend to add too many recent players, but it's hard to judge top 100 on recent players until some time has passed. I agree that they make many terrible lists though.

Lol a bunch of these guys are already in the HOF that say a year-present

Its a 9 year old quiz

Level 74

Ugh, I was so close! I scored 97/100. The three players I missed all played in the 1920s, so not too bad. Thanks for the quiz!

This list is like an anti-recency bias
